Cowden is neighborhood that's planted right at the heart of Midland. It’s a spot that’s close to downtown, and residents have multiple restaurants, retail options and parks to choose from, all within a couple of miles.
This is a well-established piece of Midland, complete with an assortment of mature trees. Many of the homes in the neighborhood date back to the mid-20th century, though there are some modern houses here and there. Single-story ranch-style homes and bungalows are the most common, regardless of age. The traditional single-family homes here sell for between $100,000 and $200,000. “Days on the market has been pretty quick for most of them, less than 30 days,” says Lenny Carley, a Realtor with eXp Realty who has more than 20 years of experience. “About normal for our market.” There are also some townhomes in the neighborhood that sell for between $70,000 and $145,000.
Big Spring Street cuts through Cowden and provides residents with quick access to several restaurants and stores. Locals have the option of starting their day with a cup from The Human Bean, a coffee chain popular for its mocha drinks. They can grab lunch from Taqueria El Real, a taco truck that also has carne asada fries or try the burritos at Mis Amigas just up the road. There’s both a Super Mercado grocery store and a Family Dollar along Big Spring Street, too. Multiple houses of worship are in the vicinity as well, including the Redeemed Christian Church of God House of Prayer, Centro Familiar Cristiano Vida and Bellview Baptist Church.
Midland throws a variety of holiday celebrations, including an annual evening Christmas parade in early December that passes just 2 miles from Cowden. The night includes the opportunity to take pictures with Santa at Wadley-Barron Park. Residents can also grab fresh produce and other locally sourced goods at the Midland Downtown Farmers Market, a mile from the neighborhood.
